Cranes are the fifth species of animal available in the Great Wall zone and the thirtieth animal species in the Space Zoo. Cranes are flying animals. There are 10 different types of crane. Like all Space Zoo animals, more cranes are unlocked progressively as the player upgrades the crane habitat. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Great Wall 3.

Behaviour[]
- Wild: Cranes appear flying over the stampede.
- When ridden: Cranes fly in the air, being able to avoid all ground level obstacles but not arches against the walls, central rocks or flagpoles along the wall edges.
- When angry: Cranes swoop down, with their swoop pattern consisting of an equal time in the air and swooping along the ground. They are harder to steer, with a delay being present when the player attempts to turn.
- In habitat: Cranes strut around, occasionally twitching their head and pecking the ground to their right.
- Selected in habitat: Cranes flap their wings rapidly twice.
Tips[]
Cranes, like all other flying animals, have the ability to fly over the stampede unaffected for a period of time. Cranes in particular can be ridden for quite a long time in the air. However, in Great Wall, there are several obstacles, including central buildings, stairs to watch towers and flagpoles, that the player must watch out for as flying animals can still crash into those when flying. Additionally, when diving, the player has less control over the crane's steering, which makes cranes difficult to use.
